About this study

Official title: Long-term Outcomes of MicroNet-covered Stent Routine Use for Stroke Prevention in Symptomatic and Increased-risk Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Patients Requiring Revascularization by Neurovascular Team Decision: PARADIGM-EXTEND

All-comer study of unselected patients suitable for carotid artery revascularization to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of first line endovascular revasculariztion using MicroNet covered stent (CGuard™) in the treatment of consecutive symptomatic and increased-stroke-risk asymptomatic carotid lesions that require revascularization by Neurovascular Team decision.

Read the detailed description

Independent investigator initiated, academic, single arm, open-label, non-randomized, prospective, multicenter, multispecialty trial of CGuard™ routine use in all-comer population of consecutive patients with symptomatic or increased-stroke-risk asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Increased-stroke-risk is defined as the following patient and/or lesion characteristics:

thrombus containing, documented progressive, irregular, ulcerated lesion; evidence of ipsilateral ischemic cerebral injury in MRI or CT imaging; contralateral stroke in relation to carotid stenosis; contralateral artery occlusion.

The main objective of this observational study is to evaluate (1) the periprocedural feasibility and efficacy of CGuard™ stent system in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis (2) long-term efficacy and safety of routine CGuard™ stent system use.

The study hypothesis is that the novel CGuard™ MicroNet® covered stent is safe and effective for a majority of consecutive patients considered to require carotid revascularization.

The multicenter arm of the project has a specific cohort descriptor: PARADIGM-EXTEND MC

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Piotr Musialek, MD, PhD (+48126142287, p.musialek@szpitaljp2.krakow.pl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MACNE (Major Adverse Cardiac and Neurological Events) (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04271033, which also lists 15 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2022.
